Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 3—This collection brings together 14 folk- and fairy tales, including "Beauty and the Beast," "Cinderella," "The Little Mermaid," and "The Three Little Pigs," retold simply and in a large format for sharing aloud. Many of the more violent plot points have been dampened down or omitted completely, though the girl in "The Seven Ravens" does cut off her own finger and Snow White's stepmother "feasted on what she thought was Snow White…." Jewel-toned paintings done in pencil, pen-and-ink, watercolor, and Adobe Photoshop decorate each story with complex, rich details that are occasionally a bit frightening. Overall this volume serves as a nice introduction to these well-known tales and will be useful in library collections, but unfortunately no sources are cited, even for the Hans Christian Andersen tales. The flap copy references "The Frog Prince," which is not actually included in the book.—Julie Roach, Cambridge Public Library, MA

From the Back Cover

From once upon a time to happily ever after, these are the fairy tales everyone knows and loves. A girl who is as tiny as your thumb . . . a princess who kisses a frog . . . the transformative power of a fairy godmother . . . an entire castle under an evil spell for one hundred years . . . an ugly duckling who becomes a graceful swan . . . these are timeless stories that beg to be read over and over again.

Each enchanted fairy tale in this collection was selected and illustrated in full color by master artist Michael Hague. Compiled especially for reading aloud to the youngest child, this collection will allow readers to rediscover all the magic in these beloved childhood classics.

I bought this as a gift for a 4 year old relative. This has a wonderful collection of fairy takes. Some are short and some are longer-- so the book will be good for a long time. I would buy this book again just for the illustrations. They are outstanding and beautifully done. I spent time myself just looking at them.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT A BOOK FOR CHILDREN!!
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2020
Verified Purchase
I purchased this book for my 6 & 8 year old grandchildren. My daughter wrote me and told me this was not a book to read to them. She sent me several photos of the illustrations. I was shocked . The pictures are frightening; they are ghoulish and demonic. If I knew how to post the photos, I would. I am further disappointed because I have, for the most part always enjoyed this artist's works. In fact, we have several children's' books illustrated by him on our shelves. I know that the original versions of many fairy tales are actually rather scary. This book, though, is unequivocally over the top. It is an adult version. NOT, WHATSOEVER, FOR GRADE SCHOOL CHILDREN!!

I love this illustrator. I got this book and added two other fairy-tale books illustrated by Michael Hague to send to a mommy to read as bedtime stories and keep as collectibles. The books are beautiful!

Michael Hague is noted for his illustrious illustrations, and he does not disappoint. Fairy tales from Perrault to Andersen - good selection of the tales children should know as an educated person.

The art work in this book is beautifully done. Worth having without the stories! But, it's always nice to have a collection of old-fashioned fairy tales on hand, as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of fairy tales more true to the originals
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2018
Some modern readers may be shocked by these because most people are more familiar with the Disney version of such classics as Sleeping Beauty or The Little Mermaid, which have sanitized them and made them saccharine. The stories here are closer to the originals, with no punches pulled (eg. the mermaid dies). The language is made modern and their shortened to a good bedtime story length. Altogether a tasteful educated mature book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous paintings, as usual from Michael Hague, combined with a good selecton of traditional fairy tales.
Reviewed in Canada on February 4, 2014

This book exposes children to both beautiful artwork and writing of traditional tales. Many young children of today are not read the stories that are the foundation for much of English literature. Michael Hague's illustrations are always works of art. They are detailed, opulent, and capture the essence of each fairy tale. I wish there were more paintings in the book. Micheal Hague's books are always worth buying. In an age of caricatures and cartoons he shows children what art is about and allows them to see the possibilities they can achieve.
